im going to install 4 new eaton stock springs on my 1972 half ton with a bb 402, my question is in case i need any frontend parts.. some where on this site i read that even thou its a "72". the 73- up parts were stronger? or an upgrade?
or was i dreaming it? cant find it in a search. ??

by the way... nothing against the lowering crowd. but im going stock + 1".
right now it is 2" low.

I've heard this too about the 73 and up parts fitting. Not sure if they are any better but I replaced my entire front end with ac delco parts. Just makes me feel better knowing they are ac delco.

What I did was go to acdelco.com and click on the parts catalog on the bottom right. Then look up you year of truck and model. Then I looked up the part numbers on amazon which I found has the better prices. Also www.oehq.com sells them too.
